¿Qué tan bien calibrada está tu confianza? Cuando dices que estás «100% seguro», ¿aciertas el 100% de las veces?

I want LiveCodeBench but showing how many tokens/€s/KWhs it takes to get to 100%. Not interested in scores less than 100%.

Something we should all think about

Obviamente

yo he pedido mi preview a ve si @eferro.net me la concede jajaja, estoy deseando leerlo

From time to time, I will use an LLM for answer generation, but every time I will verify its results.

I also presume that search will always be biased and inadequate, and I act accordingly.

Do not surrender your humanity to tools that are architecturally and demonstrably unreliable narrators.

Please add this to your definition of refactoring, because people are still planning refactoring tasks even though this book is now in its second edition and is over 20 years old.

I caught up with Matt Klein, one of the famed developers behind the Envoy Proxy, and had a chat about AI and why the hype machine has gone too far. I think the industry is putting machines over people and the tradeoff leans too far in the rent seeker's favor.

Unpopular opinion:

Most product people can’t tell the difference between a Gantt chart and a product roadmap, t’s sad, but that’s how far semantic diffusion has gone.

Pls, and thank you

That's right, and that's what we need to work well, not to assume that just because we use AI everything is solved.

I LOVE them, and with AI is a nice guardrails

LLMs are like a recommendation algorithm on an e-commerce website.
The problem with agentic coding is like thinking that the recommendation algorithm produces sufficiently plausible results that it's essentially you.

It's there to augment your experience, not to replace it.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*

Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.

GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

The memes are real

As I find myself in a similar quest and inspired to answer similar questions, I wrote this post: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

My reflection on the real problem about AI in the software industry I’ve been trying for a while to correctly and logically organize my thoughts about the sector and this new “AI era.”

It’s also very common in the industry that when there’s a people-related issue (communication, leadership, etc.), they turn to a tool to solve the problem instead of acknowledging that perhaps the problem is them.

It’s true that in the IT industry, whenever something goes wrong, the first thing people do is blame the tool, rather than asking themselves if the problem might actually lie with them.

Stop measuring AI adoption with token counts If your organisation tracks tokens consumed or AI-generated lines of code as proof of progress, it is not measuring transformation. It is measuring noise.

El otro día hablando con unos amigos, hablabamos sobre como en sus empresas están mirando la adopción de la IA, sorpresa para nadie, cantidad de tokens o líneas producidas.

Como siempre seguimos confundiendo lo básico, Outcomes y Outputs
